Dear Harry  
 
Thank you for your Official Information Act request, received on 24 August 2022. You requested: 
 
…all documents and Cabinet papers mentioning Whangārei in relation to infrastructure and health 
funding decisions from October 2017.  
 

Your request was transferred to several agencies by the Cabinet Office on 24 August 2022, and was 
extended by 50 days on 21 September 2022. 
Your initial request was substantial in scope. The Treasury contacted you on the 27 September 2022 and 17 
October 2022 asking if you would consider refining your request to the following: 
All health-related infrastructure documents mentioning Whangārei, during the period of the current 
Government. 

I am advised that the Treasury have not received a response from you on this matter. Therefore, due to the 
substantial scope of the original request, I am refusing your request under section 18(f) of the Official 
Information Act - that the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or 
research. 
I have included some information that is publicly available which relates to the information requested that 
may be of use to you.
